Wifi doesnt work on CM 7.2 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got bored of the whole ICS and JB revolution and decided to go for some good old fashioned Gingerbread love, so I went to the cyanogen site and downloaded CM 7.2, but since then my wifi isn't working but cellular data works, wifi just connects and stays put, doesn't work, even tried changing the regulatory channels but no luck, any idea? Please help

It's working fine for me on CM 7.2, so there's most likely an issue with your setup. Sometimes coming from ICS back to GB, requires a couple of wipes.

Team EOS issue

Well, it won't let me post in the official thread so I'm forced to put it here.
I recently installed the Team EOS Jelly Bean nightly (Stingray MZ602) their gapps, and reflashed the ICS radio as recommended using Rogue Recovery. Things have been working well except the WiFi. It tends to cut out randomly. It will be connected yet not transmit or receive. I have to turn it off and on frequently in order for it to work. No, it's not the router or my network. I am hoping for a solution other than going back to ICS.
First thing I would do is to full wipe and format /system
And flash twrp recovery that is advised as stable flasher.
Then redownload the ROM and gapps and make sure check sum is OK,
Then flash and reboot.
This way, you would id the source of your issue, ROM bug or recovery flasher? Cuz I know other guys face no issues like yours with twrp. Worth to try. Good luck.
The twrp page hasn't been updated since April and the project itself hasn't been updated since October of 2011. How can you be sure that it'll work with the radio zip better than Rogue? Or even the Team EOS JB build?
Twrp is advised by team eos. They asked to use it. And you need twrp for Xoom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28988754
Installation method 4 thru goo manager.
I remember one of the stingray users had an issue with the radio flashing and it went great with twrp.
Good luck.
Didn't work. I still have to reset the WiFi every 5 minutes or so. Also, the twrp recovery takes a LOT longer to load than Rogue's. Almost thought it wasn't going to work for a bit until the 'curtain' finally rose.
Over 24-hour bump...
Just put on EOS 138 and reflashed the radios after going back to Rogue. Still radio issues with WiFi. Found some other threads detailing that Jelly Bean in general seems to have WiFi issues. As much as I hate it, I'm starting to think that I will have to 1) revert to ICS, 2) wait for an updated radio file, or 3) deal with it.

I always have that problem with their roms. Flash a kernel, thats always helped my situation.
Also I have zero issues with wifi on JB with my GNexus, N7, Infuse and Atrix. Its not JB, at least not as far as I have seen. Granted none are stock.
Which kernel would you recommend?
Also, until JB I have not had this issue with EOS builds.

I flashed Eos 138 last night (was on CNA), without doing the radios, nor a kernel, and didn’t have any problems.
The Eos forum states that it has the kernel baked into the rom, so flashing the kernel is likely redundant.
However, for ****s and giggles I tried flashing the Eos 3.0.15 kernel and it would not flash, but I was able to flash the Eos 3.0.5 kernel instead and it took. I haven’t seen any issues, either before or after the kernel flash, so perhaps you should try re-flashing the entire rom sans radios and see what happens.
One of the nice things about the Xoom is its pretty easy to fix anything you could do to it via ADB and fastboot, so try some different combos, or start all the way over (from stock). If that doesn’t help, try a different JB rom and see if you get the same problem.
Also make sure you are flashing the right rom, there are several variants for the Xoom - 3G, 4G, Euro, and of course wifi only.
Just flashed CM10 and the non-EOS gapps without flashing radios. Running on WiFi for about 20 minutes so far without issue. Will try more testing later today.
EOS 4 & Kindle
Thanks EOS for 4.2.1! Feels like most things are working...except Kindle locks up on start-up. Just sayin'....

[Q] Wifi Issues

I would have posted this in the Sensation Android development area, but I don't have sufficient privileges to do so.
I no longer have WiFi.
I am using the 4.1.2 CM Kang, and I originally had WiFi working with that ROM, but it stopped working about a weeks ago, and I can't get it to come back.
If I watch the Wifi on/off toggle, I can see it blink white for a split second then return to grayed out about once every 5-10 seconds.
I've checked the WiFi settings, and the only thing that looks peculiar is that the region code under Advanced says "Europe," but when I try to change that, it just reverts.
I have tried a factory data reset,re-flash of the ROM, and installing newer versions of the ROM with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
tried this ?
WiFi will not turn on

I tried to install WiFix Manager, and I followed the directions closely, but WiFi still will not turn on.
The country code always reverts back to Europe in the Advanced WiFi Settings.
I'm on T-Mobile US, running AOKP aokp_pyramid_unofficial_Oct-19-12.zip; a JB ROM; 4.1.2
I previously tried the CM10 Kang for the HTC Sensation, but switched ROMs to make sure that it wasn't issue with the ROM.
To be clear, my problem is not that the WiFi radio never locks to a particular signal, it's that the WiFi radio won't even turn on.
When I go to WiFi settings it just says, "Turning on WiFi...," and never actually turns on.
My best guess was that it had something to do with the WiFi country code, but that's really just a stab in the dark; open to suggestions.
Thanks

Surely, there's someone out there that can help?

In order of easiest and quickest to longest time it will take to do each one...
Install the latest version of the ROM (10/23) overtop of your existing rom (5 minutes)
If that doesn't work...
Do a full wipe and install a fresh copy of the latest version. (15 minutes, with Nandroid backup)
If that doesn't work...
Format your SD card (save all the contents to your computer first) (40 minutes between copying every to the computer and back to the SD card)
NON ROM RELATED OPTION IF YOU ARE S-OFF
Reinstall your firmware as it's possible something got messed up. You will have to boot to recovery after this and wipe cache and dalvik or you will get bootloops. (5 minutes, but a little more involved)
My guess is that the full wipe and fresh install is the most likely to work the first time.

is there a sensation specific guide for this procedure?
Still perplexed
How do I know which kernel and radio combination should work best with my ROM. I switched out to AOKP to see if that was the problem, and I believe I'm using the 3.33 Kernel, but I don't know how to check to make sure it installed correctly.
Had the same problem as you but a full wipe and reflash would bring it back. Seems to be a CM10 problem since it happens with Bruce's and Paranoid roms. Try a Sense rom and see if wifi works.
Is OpenSense considered a "Sense ROM?"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926858
Try that rom, more stable and better performance than all the popular roms.
I had the same problem only option was another room Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.8.0 (this is the rom)
so long, and thanks for all of the fish...
I figured it out.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III. WiFi is working again.
Thanks for all of the help!
wifi cm10
I have tried several CM10 roms. It is as you said about the region code. It reverts back to the original and doesnt save it on the settings
Even though editing db file doesn't work. Actually it changes the country code. I guess the ROM changes it during booting. Because while it boots you can see that the wifi is connecting first then goes off. I have tried several roms. DOnno what the problem is. probably JB both on cm10 and aokp

Another WiFi Problem Thread with a twist

Hey all,
I picked up a cracked screen Sensation for my son and discovered it also had funky wifi/BT. It was bone stock running 4.0.3.
I unlocked the boot loaded, S-OFF'd, rooted and updated firmware to 3.33.
Did my research here and determined my issue was HDW related. So I order a new digitizer and LCD flex (the later includes the wifi chip).
While I waited for my kit to arrive I flashed CM10, 8/4 build I think.
Well yesterday I did my repairs and fired up the phone only to see wifi stuck at turning on - and the phone rebooting every so often. BT, however was now working fine.
So here is the twist.
I restored my stk 4.0.3 rooted nandroid and wifi works fine!:good:
But if I do a clean install of CM10 - again wifi does not work
I have read about the issues with wifi and being S-ON, but I am S-OFF.
Any thought s on how to get CM working?

Sometimes ROMs have problems with wifi, I had similliar problem with another ROM.
Some users with HTC Amaze report builds prior to April 5 had Wifi problems. Did you try CM10.1/2? For me there is no problem with wifi at all, worth a shot.
Maybe try a different ROM?
I have also experienced some wi fi issues with some of the CM 10.1/10.2 ROMS. Since there is not really an "official" CM 10.1 ROM for the sensation, you sort of have to accept that there may be some bugs. I would suggest trying CM 9.1 and see if that works for you. Since you seem to be doing a complete wipe and format before the upgrades, the only other problem could possibly be some sort of hardware issue. However, I suspect that since it worked well on a previous ROM that the problem is ROM related. I would suggest you try all the various ROMs to see if the problem goes (mostly) away on one of them. I'm current running a 10.2 ROM and have noticed intermittent problems with connecting to Wi fi, but, on the most part, things work fine.
Good luck!

[Q] WiFi, Bluetooth, SIM wont work - any CM

Problem like in the title.
I had a 10.1 CM until recently, later 10.2 and everything acted (WiFi, bluetooth). Later I did SIM mod (everything acted), but I spoilt something in CWM (format everything in options advanceds) and from now on is out of order wifi, bluetooth and SIM on CM wont work. On the original 4.1.2 android everything is acting. What to do so that on the CM it is also ok?

RSD Lite back to stock, reflash CM perhaps?

The 10.1 cm and 10.2 I loaded a many times alternately with original 4.1.2 RSD, different of settings, I installed ROMs without/with the SIM card i slot etc.
It was sufficient to install all partitions after the CyanogenMod installation in CWM (modem etc. - were disconnected). At once everything became operative correctly.
But many thanks for any response in my problem.

XT925 - Wifi not working after Custom Rom install (but bluetooth works?)

So I'm new to rooting and flashing custom roms on android devices. This also shows that I'm new because I forgot to make a backup of my stock system before moving forward, hence this problem.
So I currently have CM 10.2 flashed on my phone and so far I can't get the wifi to work. My bluetooth works perfectly fine (I've read that if one fails usually the other should too), so I don't know what to do.
At this point I'm sure i'm stuck because I've flashed a few different roms already to see if i can fix it (10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and hacker's aosp 4.4) but the wifi isn't working in either so I stuck to the rom that had the fewest bugs.
What's weird was that it was working when I had 4.4 flashed, but when i found it too buggy and flashed CM 10.2, now it doesn't work.
Anyone else have this problem? I guess I can live with it for a while until maybe I purchase a new phone.
Thanks

Did you flash 10.2 directly over 4.4 without wiping system data and both caches?

The first time, no. I thought I may have installed 4.4 incorrectly so after installing 10.2 i tried flashing 4.4 again, but I did wipe the caches, system, data and dalvik caches the second time going back after reading in this forum how to flash over a custom rom. But then seeing that the bugs were still there, i wiped again and went back to 10.2 and I've been there for a day now.
Missed Wifi
I'm facing the same trouble , same conditions.
